when i look at life for what it is, i realize the amazing opportunities that present themselves. i realize how fortunate i am to be recieving a good education, with teachers who respect me and trust me and know how much i cherish knowledge. i realize the good in my friends and how much i like some people more than others. i realize those people, or that person, who just stands out of the crowd. who are not afraid to be themselves. who love life and make the most out of it. i realize how much i wasted on some people just because i believed in my feelings for them. i realize how they're throwing their life away and how they were never as amazing as i thought. i realize my mistakes, yet dont regret them because everything happens for a reason. if i hadnt have done those things, i wouldnt be where i am today.
i wouldnt be loving my life and the people who are in it. i wouldnt be excited to go to school to learn and to see friends. i wouldnt want to be so involved with theatre and spend all my time not sleeping and devoting myself to putting on some sort of production. i wouldnt have realized those few people who are good for me and make me genuinely happy.
its really true; life is what you make it. i've lived by that for 16 years now, or as long as i've understood what that phrase means, and its working better than i could have ever imagined.
